Spectators inside the stadium and television viewers worldwide were treated to a glittering show lasting nearly three hours and featuring 22 tonnes of fireworks. The Winter Olympic Games is a major international sporting event that occurs once every four years, and as the president of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach said, during the ceremony "The Olympics are about building bridges to bring people together . They are not about erecting walls to keep people apart. Embrace human diversity and unity". By ensuring the accessibility to all the premises located inside the Olimpic area, with the installation of 370 stairlifts with platform, Vimec gave its contribution in "building bridges to bring people together". The winter games have evolved since their inception in 1924. Sports have been added and some of them have earned a permanent spot on the Olympic programme. Each of them have developed and achieved specific characteristics and techniques, which athletes should follow to get a good performance during their exhibition. The techniques of some winter sports, as bobsleigh, ski jumping, ice Hockey and Nordic combined are implemented by Vimec' s team during everyday work and in its relationships with dealers. More about this and Vimec support to its dealers read on the next post of the blog.
